BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
Dear - This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, United
States Code, Section 1552.
CRS
Docket No: 2209-99
23 July 1999
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 14 July 1999. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of
your application, together with all material submitted in support
thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations
and policies.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Marine Corps on 2 March
1978 at age 19. Your record reflects that you received three
nonjudicial punishments. The offenses included failure to obey a
lawful order on two occasions, possession of marijuana, smoking
on post, disrespect, dereliction of duty, and absence from your
appointed place of duty. On 6 February 1981 you received a
general discharge in accordance with an expeditious discharge
program.
Character of service is based, in part, on one's conduct and
proficiency averages, both of which are computed from marks
assigned during periodic evaluations. Your conduct and
proficiency averages were 3.8 and 3.4, respectively. A minimum
average conduct mark of 4.0 was required for a fully honorable
characterization of service at the time of separation.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
immaturity. However, the Board concluded that these factors were
not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
given the three disciplinary actions, and the fact that your
conduct average was insufficiently high to warrant a fully
honorable discharge. Accordingly, your application has been
denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished upon request.
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that
favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the
Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and material
evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board.
In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a
presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.
Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval
record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
